Australian Cattle Dog / Pug Mix

Is the Australian Cattle Dog / Pug Mix right for you?

The basics:RightPet does not advocate the intentional cross-breeding of purebred dogs. But the reality is that most dogs available for adoption at shelters and rescues are mixed breeds. We think it might be helpful to hear from owners of these mixes to see what traits can be found in these dogs who are desperately needing homes.

The unlikely pairing between an Australian Cattle Dog and a Pug isn't all that common, but you may occasionally encounter this mix in a rescue.

Appearance / health:
While all mixed-breed dogs can vary in appearance, the difference between individual Heeler / Pug mixes can be truly extreme.

Behavior / temperament:
While it's impossible to predict the exact personality of a mixed-breed dog, this unlikely mix could bring you the wide-roaming Heeler with its love of the great outdoors, or the indolent and stubborn Pug, or anything in between. Be an understanding owner who can accept your dog as an individual.
